Off the mark at the 16th attempt at Tramore last month and went back-to-back with a C&D success earlier this month; on an upward curve and should be firmly in the mix if he handles quicker conditions. |

Comes here in great nick, just coming out the wrong side of a photo over C&D before landing similar contest a week ago under hold-up tactics under today's rider; carries mandatory 7lb penalty here (upped 6lb in future) and has his chance again in a weak contest. |
